Peter Stormare! He's been in a ton of movies: Dancer in the Dark, Chocolat, Bad Boys II, but my favorite movie he was in was BIG LEBOWSKI one of the great comedies of all Time! He played one of the Nihlists.

Stellan Skarsgård is another character actor who has been in a ton of movies. He's usually the bad guy. He was also in Dancer in the Dark and the original Insomnia. He's part of the Dogma film movement.
